The Ripon Rotary Club is once again kicking off its annual Winter Coat Drive.
It’s that time of year for the local service organization to collect new and gently used coats to help out needy children and families in the Ripon area.
According Rotary President John Mangelos, the Winter Coat Drive is in partnership with the Ripon Interfaith Ministries, which provides emergency assistance to low-income families in crisis.
“All of the donated coats will be given to Ripon families,” he added.
